Arabic Minor

 

 

To complete a minor in Arabic, students are required to pass (with a grade of "C" or better) two beginning-level language courses (ARA 1120 and ARA 1121) and three upper-division courses (3000/4000 level) from the following list:

• ASH 3222 Islamic History
• ASH 3223 The Modern Middle East
• ASH 4210 The Crusades
• ASH 4624 Islamic Intellectual History
• CPO 4409 Religion and Politics in the Middle East
• CPO 4424 Comparative Islamist Movements
• FOL 4933 Special Topics (a topic relating to the languages, cultures, literatures, history, and/or politics of the Arab world)
• JST 4417 Jews of Spain and the Middle East

Students with advanced knowledge of spoken and/or written Arabic (beyond the intermediate level) must contact the LLCL Director of Undergraduate Studies (Dr. Michael Rapoport) to establish a list of five courses to complete the minor. 

Courses taken on study abroad programs may be counted toward the minor, but all such courses should be approved by the LLCL Director of Undergraduate Studies before the student begins the study abroad program.
